The Trouble with Hydee

What's Next, Los Angeles? with Mike Bonin

Los Angeles City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto is blocking affordable and homeless housing, refusing to help tenants facing eviction, and violating the First Amendment rights of reporters -- and more. Mike is joined by two special guests: civil rights attorney Marissa Roy and Godfrey Santos Plata. They discuss the foibles and scandals of the city attorney, as well as LA's hot labor summer, the plight of renters, and more. We guarantee it is the only podcast you'll ever hear that includes mentions of the Los Angeles City Charter, Beyonce, and the founder of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, Harry Bridges.
